US. It was likely manufactured in a country with lax environmental regulations. In a few words, fracking and drilling for oil are disgustingly bad for the environment. Remember the three R’s: reduce, reuse and recycle. If you want to do good for the environment, reduce the amount of electricity you use. It doesn’t matter where it comes from. There is always a price to pay.

THINK AGAIN In the 1990s, I was a process engineer in diffusion at Motorola Inc. in Phoenix. We made diodes and rectifiers, the simplest type of semiconductor circuit. We doped boron trichloride (BCl3) and phosphine into silicon, the same way chips for solar panels are made today. Trichloroethane and hydrofluoric acid were used to clean the wafers, and we inadvertently contaminated the groundwater too. The city permit for our air emissions was up for renewal. The process was so toxic, I would not sign it. ... Today the factory is a superfund site. The part inside a solar panel that makes electricity cannot be recycled. When the process is complete, the boron, phosphorus and silicon are molecularly one solid. I suspect if you check, the semiconductor inside a solar panel you have was not manufactured in the
NEWS, FEBRUARY 20: “OUT OF THE BOX”
INTERPRET IT Thank you for your recent article on the Los Alamos Gun Show and current legislation proposed in the state [Legislature]. Many modern countries have strict gun control such as Australia, Japan, Singapore and Canada. Others such as the UK ban them outright (even for many police officers). These are hardly totalitarian regimes with a cowed and obedient populace, though they do have the lowest rates of gun violence in the world, far lower than ours. We should consider the Second Amendment equal to all others in our Constitution, open to interpretation, revision and local regulation. It is neither more or less important than all others. Weapons manufacturing and sales is a multi-billion dollar per year industry and like all industries should be regulated and restricted for the health and safety of this nation’s citizens. Perhaps then all the senseless gun murders we see and read about daily might become a thing of past.

An End In Sight Outside prosecutors set to issue findings on 2017 SFPD shooting, but big questions remain
BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
three-prosecutor panel met Tuesday for a final review of perhaps the most controversial shooting by Santa Fe police officers in recent memory, officials tell SFR. The question they considered: Did SFPD officers Luke Wakefield and Jeremie Bisagna commit a crime when, together, they fired 17 shots into a room at the Tuscany at St. Francis Apartments, killing 24-year-old Anthony Benavidez, who was living with schizophrenia? New Mexico State Police spent six months investigating the shooting after Benavidez was killed in July 2017. They turned reports and other evidence over to First Judicial District Attorney Marco Serna on Jan. 12, 2018, and Serna in turn handed the case off to the committee of outside prosecutors—fulfilling a campaign promise to shift police shooting reviews away from his office. In the ensuing 13 months, Benavidez’ family has settled a civil lawsuit against SFPD and lamented the lengthy delay in answering the question of whether the officers broke the law. “I just want to know if anyone will hold these men responsible in my brother’s killing,” his sister, Rose Lopez, told SFR last month. “I want to know what’s taken so long. I feel like it’s not being treated like a murder investigation—I feel like it’s just being treated as if he was a nobody, as if he was not even a person.” Rick Tedrow is president of the New Mexico District Attorneys Association and has taken on the task of setting up the committees to review police shootings for Santa Fe and other districts that want outside opinions. He tells SFR Lopez’ long wait will end this week—he pledged to require that the committee send a findings letter to Serna by Friday. But there’s a hitch, says Tedrow, DA in the 11th Judicial District, the area around Farmington. “The question we have not been able to answer is: If the committee says this [shooting] requires charges, there’s no procedure in place at this time as to who
will prosecute,” he says. “The committee will kick it back to the originating DA and they can either go with our recommendation or not. It would then be that DA’s responsibility to decide who would prosecute.” The prosecutor panels are not codified in state law. Rather, they began in response to judicial and journalistic criticism of a previous system in which prosecutors used secret, “investigative grand juries” to review police shootings. Those reviews were not binding, and neither are those conducted by the committees. Serna declined to be interviewed for this story, leaving open the question of how he would move forward if the committee determines charges should be filed against Bisagna and Wakefield, who are both still working at SFPD. In addition to the Benavidez case, the same committee is also considering a police shooting from the district where he’s the top prosecutor. “In mine, if the committee says it’s a bad shooting, I would keep the case for prosecution unless a judge said I have a conflict,” he says. Tedrow acknowledges the lengthy waits for findings from the committees. “Of course, you have all sorts of families out there waiting for results,” he says. “It also impacts the officers—they may be riding desk duty or ineligible for promotions or just having this hang over their heads.” The problem, he says, is that the district attorneys are working as volunteers on the committees. No one in the state has secured funding for the outside reviews. “I would love to speed up the process, but there are only 14 DAs—well, 13, if you take away the originating DA—and we’re all busy, so it’s tough to get space in everyone’s calendars,” Tedrow says. The committee members, he says, have independently reviewed the shooting and will reach agreed-upon findings on it and another case during the meeting.

Lead server Jay Hayden prepares a table for diners at Geronimo.
Despite changes, restaurants, servers still nervous about advancing minimum wage bills
B Y A N D Y LY M A N a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

y 9-to-5 standards, Jay Hayden could have already retired. He’s devoted almost 32 years of his life striving to be the best in his trade, but he doesn’t work 9 to 5—and he’s not retiring. Hayden is a lead server at Geronimo, a fine dining restaurant housed in a centuries-old building on Canyon Road. A modest dinner for two at Geronimo, with an equally modest tip, can easily cost $100. He says he can make $30 to $40 per hour including tips, but a legislative proposal speeding toward the governor’s desk has Hayden worried about his financial stability. Until Saturday, a bill that would raise the minimum wage in New Mexico included a provision to phase out what’s known as the tip credit, a lower base pay for food servers, in the name of fairness and parity. The idea sparked concern for Hayden and other servers who argued their hourly pay would actually go down if there was no separate minimum wage for tipped workers. The complaint from servers and business owners during a Senate Public Affairs Committee hearing was: Higher wages for tipped employees means shorter shifts and smaller overall paychecks. In its current form, HB 31 would increase both the tipped minimum wage—from $2.13 to $3.60—and the full minimum wage—from $7.50 to $12—over several years. Those specific increases, along with a provision that would allow for future automatic increases, mean the bill will likely be signed by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who campaigned on raising the state’s wage floor. But automatic increases to the minimum wage based on inflation are one of the prominent reasons many in the restaurant industry oppose the measure. The bill’s sponsor told the Senate committee last week that he heard those concerns and decided not to eliminate

the tip credit. Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque, said he intended to even the playing field for restaurant servers with his proposal. He told committee members a change to his bill would make the tipped minimum wage about 30 percent of the full minimum wage. “In moving this bill forward in the Senate, we want to make it explicitly clear that there is no issue with the tip credit,” Garcia said in committee. Garcia’s bill passed the House and is one committee away from a full Senate vote. But because of the changes he made to the bill, the full House will have another
crack at it before it goes to the governor. Current state law allows employers to pay some tipped workers a fraction of the minimum wage. But, if a worker ends a shift without making the equivalent of minimum wage, the employer is legally obligated to pay the difference. Garcia said some tipped employees told him that only happens about half the time—and that’s why the Albuquerque legislator initially proposed to eliminate a separate tipped minimum wage. But Hayden said he’s concerned the cost of living increases would slowly make it harder for restaurants to pay workers; employers would eventually have to lay off workers or go out of business. In an interview with SFR, he calls it “death by 1,000 cuts.” Santa Fe and Albuquerque restaurant owner George Gundrey shares Hayden’s concern about indexing the minimum wage, or adjusting it for inflation. Gundrey, who owns Tomasita’s and Atrisco Café, told the Senate Public Affairs committee last week that he was happy to hear Garcia amended the bill but still could not support it due to the adjustable wage increase. However, Gundrey tells SFR, keeping

the tax credit is a step in the right direction. “It’s another little thing that they’re doing to make our lives harder but it doesn’t destroy our business model, so it’s definitely very good news,” he says. It’s been more than a decade since the Legislature passed a statewide minimum wage increase, despite Democratic attempts to do so every year since 2008. This year, Garcia’s bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Joanne Ferrary, D-Las Cruces, is one of several. It has made the most progress in the Legislature and is the closest to reaching the governor’s desk. During her gubernatorial campaign, Lujan Grisham said she would push for a $12 minimum in a four-year span, then indexed past that. That’s exactly what Garcia is proposing. But another minimum wage increase bill is rearing its moderate head and has gained support from local business owners. Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, presented SB 437 alongside Garcia during last week’s hearing. Sanchez’ bill would increase the state’s minimum wage by $2.50 over the next 12 months and allow employers to pay high school students about 85 percent of his bill’s proposed wage. By comparison, Garcia’s bill would increase the minimum wage by $4.50 over three years, making it a favorite for workers’ rights groups and further left-leaning lawmakers. Garcia’s House bill would push the state minimum wage beyond what Santa Fe ($11.40 and $3.40 for tipped employees), Albuquerque ($9.20 with health benefits, $8.20 without and $5.50 for tipped employees) and Las Cruces ($10.10 and $4.40 for tipped employees) locally mandate. Sanchez’ bill would raise the rate above Albuquerque’s, but leave it lower than Santa Fe’s local minimum wage. Despite the bills’ differences, there was talk on Saturday among committee members about compromise between the two sponsors. Both Garcia and Sanchez said they were open to further conversations. Both lawmakers saw their proposals pass the Senate Public Affairs Committee almost unanimously on Saturday, and both are slated go on to the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee. Sanchez, who chairs the Corporations and Transportation Committee, tells SFR he plans to meet with Garcia to discuss possible compromises and will add the bills to the schedule as soon as that happens. “I want to get this thing settled as soon as possible,” Sanchez said.

Even More Castles, Ruins and Mysteries BY L E A H CA N TO R , JULIE ANN GRIMM AND C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I
I
f the headline of this piece seems familiar, it’s because in April of 2017, SFR published the first installation of Castles, Ruins and Mysteries. But this is Santa Fe, and we have more than one castle, more than a few ruins, and lots more mysteries. Hundreds of years of building houses and churches leaves an unmistakable imprint—even as modernity changes the cityscape. What remains and what we add to the scene keeps the place in a constant state of change. The last time we undertook this project, the castle in play was a concrete-block structure on the west side. This time, we visit one that’s both a castle and a ruin: the former home of a famed naturalist that’s now in the hands of a nonprofit. Then, it’s a stroll down memory lane and hint about the future as we unpack the last grocery sack on Palace Avenue before we head to the Traditional Historic Community of Agua Fría and a house that’s been begging questions for decades. End up on Airport Road with a tour of the area’s first Buddhist temple. So we guess this is a thing now, wherein we tell the stories of the city’s iconic edifices. Where should we go next time?

ABOVE: Seton Castle, east face, 1960s. LEFT: After a fire in 2005, the Academy for the Love of Learning stablized the ruin, leaving exposed some architectural elements including the foundation. RIGHT: The library is now home to a garden.
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
By the time I grabbed my notebook and jumped out of the car, flames were crawling across the ceiling of the library. I had followed the column of smoke the way journalists do when something is on fire: Head for it fast. There was so much fire that I wasn’t sure where to focus my eyes. Firefighters from Santa Fe County were trying to save the Seton Castle. But it was too late. The multi-story, 32-room National Historic Landmark designed by the founder of the Boy Scouts of America was fully engulfed. What compounded the tragedy that unfolded on Nov. 15, 2005, is that workers had nearly completed massive renovations to the home that were intended to transform it into the headquarters for the Academy for the Love of Learning. Ernest Thompson Seton, known as a naturalist who painted, drew and wrote more than 60 books, lived in the castle from 1934 until he died in 1946. In 2003, the academy bought the building and 86 acres of land in Arroyo Hondo from Seton’s daughter, Dee Seton Barber, and her husband, Dale Barber. At the time, it was in a sad state that included a leaky roof and littered grounds. So, the nonprofit—which does service and training for teachers along with other community educational programs—embarked on a restoration project that would last two and a half years, until the day of the fire. Founder Aaron Stern writes in an entry on the academy’s website that the organization immediately started working on plans to rebuild the castle. “That was our deepest wish,” he writes, “but in the end it was not feasible. There had been too much destruction, and we learned that we would have had to take down all of the remains, even though some were still intact, and start completely anew.” Yet Stern didn’t want to lose what was still standing—and it’s still standing today. The academy eventually chose to stabilize the ruins and create within them a new public space. Instead of peering through streaked and smoke-stained glass, visitors can frame the mountains in the distance through a steel-lined void where windows used to be. Gravel crunches under foot instead of floorboards. In the growing seasons, plants take over; Last year, the academy grew corn there. And when I stand in the library, replacement vigas now create stripes against the blue sky. A new building now stands nearby, its lovely interior full of thoughtful details

and well-lit spaces. Stern admits it serves the nonprofit well—a contrast to the rabbit warren of hallways the castle had become over time. The new headquarters also contains a gallery with some of Seton’s work that had been removed from the castle and put in storage before the fire. The castle garden, says Jessica Smyser, the academy’s director of relationships and reciprocity, is well-used by people who live in Seton Village and by other visitors, though it’s somewhat of a secret to many. An Aug. 11 celebration in honor of Seton’s birthday could be one chance to get to know it.
“Years on, it is now this space that is peaceful and meditative and regenerative,” she says. “It feels like an honoring space.” (Julie Ann Grimm)
MOM & POP HAVE MOVED ON Palace Grocery, East Palace Avenue Before the rise of national chains, small neighborhood shops were folks’ only option for groceries, short of growing their own. Slowly, the need for the dozens of
corner stores that used to pepper our neighborhoods waned, and only a few holdouts persisted into the aughts. One of those businesses was the Palace Grocery, which served customers until 2007. The little store at 853 E Palace Ave. had been owned by Yolanda and Meliton Vigil since 1959. They ran it as a mainstay for Frito pie, food bought on monthly credit accounts and just enough fresh produce to sell in a day or two. But when Yolanda died in 2007, the doors were locked and the store went untouched for a decade.

BARBARAELLEN KOCH/PALACE OF THE GOVERNORS PHOTO ARCHIVE
Proprietor Meliton Vigil Jr. in the Palace Grocery on East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe, New Mexico, circa 1980.
Sotheby’s International Realty listed the property at $900,000 in 2010, but it didn’t move an inch for quite a while. The Santa Fe New Mexican reported as recently as May 2017 that the store was still a slightly postapocalyptic sight; dustywindow peekers could see shelves still stocked with sundries from 10 years ago. The nearly 1,700-square-foot property was last listed at $475,000 in October 2017. Then the listing was removed from Sotheby’s, and by August 2018, Austinite businessman Ted Lusher had purchased it. Lusher and his wife Sharon, who have renovated a number of historic buildings in Texas, have been visiting Santa Fe for 35 years and own a home here. Their interest in Santa Fe and their love of old buildings sparked an interest in the grocery. “We just got tired of walking by it and seeing it in ruin, if you want to know the truth,” he tells SFR via phone from Texas. “We thought it may have deserved a better fate than that.” A recent drive by the property showed the clean white exterior vanished under a new stucco job, the iconic turquoise columns tarped over. Per the construction permit, the estimated cost of new stucco,
new windows and a new portal on the Palace Grocery is listed at $360,000—a number that made an employee at the Land Use Department raise his eyebrows, musing that it seemed pretty high. Contractor Lloyd Martinez of Edificios Builders is managing the building’s exterior remodel. When we mention the sticker shock to Martinez, he laughs. “You haven’t been around Santa Fe very long, I can tell,” he says amicably. Lusher says he plans to use it as a private office for a while, including storage of some of his collection of Southwestern antiques. Since many items in Lusher’s collection are made of sensitive materials like leather, beads and paper, Martinez says the price tag is in tune with security and climate control akin to what you might find at a museum. As for the office space, “I’m kind of a minor historian; I do historical writing and writing on artifacts and the history of the Southwest, so I will do some of that with it,” Lusher says. If you want to say hello to the property’s new owner, the Lusher home on Canyon Road is part of the Santa Fe Garden Club’s 80th annual Behind Adobe Walls home and garden tour in July—making him more accessible than those dusty Band-
We just got tired of walking by it and seeing it in ruin, if you want to know the truth. We thought it may have deserved a better fate than that. -Ted Lusher
Aid tins on the shelf were for a decade. In another tax bracket, with the closing of the Palace Grocery, the East Side of Santa Fe would be considered a food desert. But as landscapes change and property values rise, we see priorities shift and the gentry takes a firmer foothold, even with a long-distance leg stretch from Texas. (Charlotte Jusinski)
DOORWAY TO SECRET REALMS REVEALED 3683 Agua Fría St. “On the right side of the doorway, these are the flames of hell,” says Steina Vasulka of the artwork surrounding the doorway of her house in the historic Village of Agua Fría at the intersection just past the San Isidro Catholic Church. “The artists chose what they wanted to paint here. It was their vision.” The true mystery of this painting, however, is on the other side of the heavy double doors. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

It was painted by Erika Wanenmacher.” Vasulka, who spoke to SFR by phone, says Wanenmacher’s creations are hard to explain. The local artist is well known for her multimedia pieces inspired by the spirit world, goddesses and magic. Wanenmacher spoke with SFR in July 2018 for a story about her 2008 show The Boys Room (AC: “Lessons from the Boys’ Room,” July 18, 2018), which lays bare the disturbing history of the Human Radiation Experiments conducted on children by scientists at Los Alamos during the Cold War. She interchangeably calls herself a “Culture Witch” and “the Ditch Witch”—referencing the art that she makes out of objects found in the acequia—and describes her work as part of the cosmic struggle of the forces of light to overcome the forces of darkness. Over the years, the art on the doorway has fueled many local rumors and legends about the building and its inhabitants. Tales abound of witches, demons and ghosts, satanic rituals, and children afraid to get off the school bus if it stopped too close to the house. William Mee, president of the Agua Fría Village Association, scoffs at the spooky stories. “All that gossip is just nonsense. The people who live there now are nice, normal people who are im-

Construction of the house dates to sometime before the nearby church, which went up in 1835.
All that gossip is just nonsense. The people who live there now are nice, normal people who are important artists. -William Mee, president, Agua Fría Village Association
THE FIRST STUPA Kagyu Shenpen Kunchab Tibetan Buddhist Center, Airport Road Halfway down Airport Road, just past a McDonald’s, several strip malls and a bus stop shaded by the wrought iron leaves of a sculpted tree, a gilded spire rises up among the actual tree tops, catching the curiosity of passersby. If it were not for the sun glinting off the golden rooftop of its traditionally built stupa, the Kagyu Shenpen Kunchab Tibetan Buddhist Center would be easy

portant artists, and before that the house belonged to one of the main families around here. But kids will always like to make up stories.” Mee tells SFR that some of the people who lived in the house long ago were curanderas who used herbs and folk remedies to treat the maladies of the villagers. While the occasional incantation may have been involved, Mee says “they were like doctors back then, just without the license. They helped people get well.” The original house is one of the oldest in the community, predating the church, which was built in 1835 on land given by Don Jose Jacinto Gallegos. A historical survey of the village by Jane Whitmore on file at the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library says in the early 1900s it was the home of Ceslo Gallegos, a woodworker whose carvings are included in folk art collections at museums across the country. It is fitting, then, that Woody and Steina Vasulka, who bought the building in 1983, are also artists, known internationally as pioneers of the early video-art movement. According to Mee, the lot adjacent to the Vasulkas’ property used to be La Sala, the town dance hall, and Steina Vasulka says that her house was once the town cantina. The building across the street was a grocery and a pool hall. In this tight-knit community where many families have lived for generations, some still remember a time when this corner was a lively site of village revelry. Yet the history of the ground beneath it is much older. “You also have to remember that the Village of Agua Fría was built on the site of the Pindi Pueblo that dates back to 3500 BCE,” Mee tells SFR. “Around this area was a burial ground. Every time they try to fix the roads they start digging up artifacts, especially around the San Isidro crossing. This is a place with ancient heritage that should not be forgotten either.” (Leah Cantor)

to miss amid the trailer parks, food trucks and industrial buildings that flank it. “The stupa—the real name in Tibetan is chöten, which means it is an offering —it is a symbol of love, compassion and liberation. Every level of the building has meaning. It is for the people. That we may come together in peace,” Lama Dorje tells SFR as he shares a meal with members of his community. Lama Dorje arrived in Santa Fe in the early 1980s with a vision of starting the town’s first Buddhist community and place of worship. He chose a piece of land located several miles outside of city limits along what was then no more than an unpaved country road that grew treacherously muddy in the winter and dried out into dusty potholes in the summer. Since then the city has rapidly expanded southward, surrounding the KSK Buddhist Center in the hubbub of traffic, sirens and activity that is now Airport Road. Yet within the walls of the garden surrounding the stupa, the atmosphere is calm and quiet. Inside the building, colorful paintings of Tibetan deities stretch from floor to ceiling. An ornate altar takes up one wall with offerings and photographs of important individuals from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, such as the Dalai Lama, who visited the center in 1991, and Lama Dorje’s teacher, Kalu Rinpoche, who guided Lama Dorje to this begin the community here. The Kalu Rinpoche has since passed away, but his successor, the young Kalu Rinpoche, who the Tibetans believe to be his reincarnation, will visit the center in the summer. The community is planning a big celebration in his honor. Since its beginnings, the center has served as a point of pilgrimage for Buddhists from around the region. Debra Snyderman, a resident of the community, says that they expect even greater numbers this summer. She hopes that visitors will not be too disturbed by the cars speeding dangerously down Airport or the discarded hypodermic needles that are sometimes found in the alleyway. She says that a handicapped resident in a wheelchair was recently hit by a truck pulling out of a next door establishment, and she worries that the city may fail to address safety concerns or enforce regulations for the new developments springing up around the neighborhood. Looking out the window, Lama Dorje seems unperturbed. “We do not know what will happen,” he says. “We do know that everyone is welcome here to join practice and service. The center is open to everyone.” (LC)

or years, hairstylist Sherri Tippie has been the beaver equivalent of the Ghostbusters: She’s who you’re gonna call. Tippie started simply motivated to save a couple beavers making a nuisance of themselves on a Denver golf course. The trapper hired to catch them told her there wasn’t a way to do it without killing them, but Tippie had read otherwise, so she took matters into her own hands. She’s been a go-to beaver relocator since. “We have a responsibility for living on this planet to do something,” she says in the documentary, The Beaver Believers, in which she’s featured. A 12-minute segment is screening with the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Santa Fe on March 11 and 12. Director Sarah Koenigsberg tells SFR she knew she had the makings of a film when Tippie emerged. She was among a string of researchers and advocates studying or promoting the positive changes beavers make to ecosystems and arguing for more introduction efforts. Beavers can be a nuisance in towns, where they fell trees and flood yards or basements, and often are killed as pests. But Koenigsberg’s film documents a growing effort to return them to high-mountain areas. This keystone species ranks second among mammals for most influencing its surroundings (humans, of course, rank first), and were once widespread in the West. Streams weren’t all that common, and instead, wetlands were. Then trapping dramatically reduced beaver numbers and ended their pervasive influence on water supplies.

Film on beavers promotes a solution to the climate crisis during this year’s Banff film tour When these industrious rodents move back in, they build dams that moderate spring floods, reducing erosion. They turn the mountainside into a sponge that gradually releases water through the summer months, supplying year-round cold water, which is good for fish and amphibians, and good for farmers and ranchers and anyone else downstream who’d like to turn on a tap and see water flow. What may resonate particularly well after the high fire-danger summers in recent years are that those wetlands also break wildfires. “No matter what the issue is that climate change is exacerbating, the beaver dams make it better,” Koenigsberg says. The 2018 book Eager: The Surprising Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter, echoes much of this case, pointing out that the wetlands and ponds they create aid other animals, store carbon to help slow the slow rising global temperatures, and even reduce pollutants like phosphorus and nitrogen. But despite these demonstrated positive effects, as author Ben Goldfarb reports in the book, the US Department of Agriculture killed 21,184 beavers just in 2016. In an era of grim news about climate change, The Beaver Believers promotes a more positive spin. “I was kind of done with the catastrophic narratives—Chasing Ice, An Inconvenient Truth—where people just end up so scared shitless,” Koenigsberg says. “People end up feeling so overwhelmed and so depressed that they just do nothing. … It just makes you feel guilty about driving cars, eating meat and using plastic straws.” She’d been doing other work that looked at climate adaptation, the idea that

we can’t stop climate change, but we can work to reduce the damage. Tippie offered a look in on those efforts not as someone who didn’t relay the science, but as a normal person with a normal job, Koenigsberg says, who just saw something that struck her as wrong and decided to do something about it. “Any one of us can do something, and all we have to do is actually speak up,” she says. “Stand up for something. … We are going to live with these new climate impacts, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do to make it less hard.” This year, the lineup for the Banff tour also includes a film on Doug Peacock, a Vietnam vet on a campaign to save grizzlies; on bikepacking and summiting peaks in the Alps; canoeing from Washington to Alaska; Native American runners protesting the dramatic downsizing of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah; and a revived tradition of bareback horse racing in the Blackfoot tribe. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust hosts the film tour as a benefit to help continue
preserving 45,000 acres of open land and 75 miles of trails. But the event is also a chance to renew that urge to spend some time outdoors. “We’re really wanting to be not just a land trust—that’s our history, that’s where we started—but we want to connect people to nature and inspire them to take care of it into the future,” says Joanne Smogor, events, volunteer and development coordinator for the Santa Fe Conservation Trust. The films do that, she says, because “people love to see what it takes for average people, sometimes not so average, and sometimes well above average, to go on these long journeys that really tax them emotionally and physically.” Even if the journey is just driving a crate full of beavers from a dammed-up culvert to a remote stream, transforming

FRANNY WALKS ALONE (FOR NOW) Free Range Buddhas frontwoman Francesca Jozette isn’t letting her search for a guitarist slow down her songwriting or performance— she’s hitting the stage alone or as a strippeddown duo with bassist Matt McClinton. And it’s worth it. Jozette’s powerful voice belies a certain understated simplicity to her backing music, but rather than it being about complexity, it’s about feeling. Like countless songwriters, Jozette plumbs the depths of her own experience for lyrical content and Americana-driven indie tunes. By meaning it a hell of a lot more than almost anyone else around, we feel it, too, and it feels good, even if it hurts sometimes. (ADV)

EVENT MON/4 THE SIGHTS, SCENTS AND MOLE PRINTING CONTEST OF NEW MEXICO If New Mexico can claim one thing in particular, it’s a rich cultural heritage (OK, and chile). Encapsulating those hundreds of years is a celebration of the people of New Mexico, rightly hosted at the Roundhouse. “Culture Day is important because there’s such a diverse landscape in New Mexico,” says the Department of Cultural Affairs’ Kat Andersen. “There’s a plethora of cultures that we’d like to highlight.” It’s not only educational, it’s chock-full of stuff to do. “I’m really excited about the mole printing competition,” Andersen continues. “It’s going to be on tortillas, which is very neat.” There’s also a poetry contest, local craft demonstrations and plenty of other family-friendly activities.

Ruh-Roh! Scooby-Doo, Beatles animator Ron Campbell’s cartoonish skills come to Santa Fe You’d wake up early on Saturday mornings when you were a kid. Bleary-eyed but oddly alert, you’d wander into the kitchen, find the biggest bowl of sugary cereal you could and plop down in front of the television. It was time for cartoons. Those days have gone, but Australian artist Ron Campbell remembers them well—after all, he had a hand in some of the most beloved animated shows of all time. Shows like George of the Jungle and The Jetsons feature work from Campbell, and he had a direct hand in developing the ever-popular Scooby-Doo. Campbell even worked on iconic ’90s properties such as Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but his most popular and enduring efforts probably come from his Beatles projects, such as their shortlived Saturday morning show, for which he was the animation director, or the legendary 1968 full-length Yellow Submarine, for which he worked as an animator. “We knew when we were working on Yellow Submarine, for example, that the film was very unusual, and that was for two reasons,” Campbell tells SFR. “One, because the psychedelic art style, which had been used for commercials, had never been used making a feature film; and two, the Beatles’ music, which was well-established at that time, and of very high quality. But if you told me that
50 years later I would be talking to you, in Santa Fe, about that experience? I would have said, ‘Are you nuts?’” Campbell comes to Santa Fe this week to showcase paintings based on his years in animation. He uses watercolors to create those psyched-out versions of the Fab Four or Hanna-Barbera characters like Yogi Bear, Fred Flintstone and others. And though Campbell says he will provide original remarques on the certificates of authenticity for those who purchase pieces, he’s happy to talk cartoons with just about anyone who comes by, especially the kiddos. Still, those of us who grew up with a steady diet of cartoons might be the most excited. “When people become adults, they look back on their childhoods, good or bad, and remember those happy moments, and they get a wave of nostalgia about it,” Campbell says. “They buy my paintings because of the nostalgia. They like to hang those pictures on their walls, and when they walk into the room and see that picture, they smile.” (Alex De Vore)

Lone Piñon’s Noah Martinez (left) and Jordan Wax perpetuate musical tradition, but they’re also keeping it fresh.
Retro-Futurism Lone Piñon carries traditional New Mexican music into the future on new album Dále Vuelo BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t’s easy to mistake the word “traditional” for “old,” but participation in traditions can help to retain vitality within current musical movements. It’s the reason roots and folk music still resonate with audiences and musicians alike in the digital age. Time becomes non-linear, if only for a moment, as you’re moved by a song that has been passed down through the generations. This is the intersection of old and new where Lone Piñon sits, where founding members Jordan Wax and Noah Martínez interpret vast repertoires of traditional New Mexican and Mexican styles of music as an intimate acoustic conjunto. On their new album Dále Vuelo, the group’s third to date, Martínez and Wax
have continued to augment their traditional string band sound with several guest musicians including longtime collaborator Leticia Gonzales—a multi-instrumentalist also known for her work with Luke Carr’s Storming the Beaches With Logos in Hand—on violin. The core duo plays multiple instruments themselves, but the backbone of Lone Piñon’s sound consists of Martínez’ percussive guitarrón and Wax’s agile violin and bright, passionate vocals. The music ranges from Cuban-originated danzón style, which highlights percussion and accordion set to a spirited two-step rhythm, to more New Mexico-specific styles. They learned the track “New Mexico Polka” directly from a woman in her 90s, Antonia Apodaca, whom Wax and Martínez frequently visit and whose repertoire of songs has helped add to their ever-growing bank of tunes and styles.

Much of Lone Piñon’s music comes from such sources: living elders and keepers of traditional music who share their stories, food and songs with the group. Wax, originally from Missouri, began learning traditional American folk traditions in this way from his own grandmother and from regional masters of fiddle music before moving to New Mexico. Martínez, at one time more interested in playing punk rock, began spending time with his grandmother’s neighbors, who would play traditional Mexican ranchera songs. When the two musicians met, they fed into each other’s desire to keep digging into as many styles of music as they could, leading to a take on traditional music that is cross-cultural with uniquely American touches that can be heard in Wax’s violin playing, which still carries some of the swing of his Missouri roots. For both of them, the drive to create relationships with older musicians and styles of music is less about academia or history and more about a simple love of the music. “We’re music nerds, foremost,” says Martínez. Wax chimes in: “If you’re really into the music and want to play it the best

MUSIC
you can, that implies understanding the tradition and integrity of it.” While the duo isn’t interested in being archivists, they each voice happiness at being a part of continuing traditions, by reaching out to different communities and musicians, but also combing through bona fide archives of traditional music. They are particularly interested in the massive collection of field recordings by Juan B Rael, an ethnographer and Stanford professor originally from Santa Fe, whose pioneering work of preserving Northern New Mexican culture now resides under the care of the Library of Congress. Now with the internet, they are in a position to combine both digital and interpersonal resources to not simply recreate older styles of music, but to act as stewards of vital and resonant traditions that crackle with as much energy as they ever had. “It’s not like we’re historical re-enactors,” Wax says. “People misunderstand culturally the statement of doing [traditional music]. People think you’re re-creating a moment in time. It’s a radical, futuristic thing to reach back.” Considering the group finds audiences anywhere from the San Miguel Chapel to electronic music festivals (yes, really), he seems to have a point. “We have the elders who are living,” Martínez adds, “and access to the future.” It lends great insight into what makes the group such a refreshing entity in local music. A perfect here-and-now moment with two musicians doing what musicians have always done—listening, interpreting and sharing.

PRESENTS THE COURTESY SHAWNA JONES
Got something resembling a fruit tree in the yard, but not sure what to do next? Santa Fe Botanical Garden’s upcoming educational opportunity is one of several in the region this week as green thumbs get ready for the signs of spring. We caught up with Shawna Jones, the garden’s adult education and volunteer coordinator, to learn more about this Saturday’s class with arborist Tracy Neal from 1-3 pm ($15-$20. 715 Camino Lejo, 471-9103). (Julie Ann Grimm) People might think there is not a whole lot going on the garden because it is winter. What do you do now? We have a pretty robust calendar of events and it is important to remind, especially people in Santa Fe, that in order to have a lush garden in the summertime, you want to do a lot of prep work in the spring and the fall. You want to be working on your roses and your fruit trees, and we have classes that are timely and we try to focus on what you should be doing in your garden throughout the season while you are in the class. So that way if you come to a class about how to prune your fruit tree, then you go home that afternoon and you prune your fruit tree. And class participants actually help prune the trees in the garden? Yes! We want you to be able to practice, and so we want to be the example garden in our community. You get to learn on our trees and then go home and perfect your skills on your own. We have apples and peaches and cherries and apricots. We try to have all the fruit trees that were planted by the Spanish whenever they first got here 400 years ago, but also fruits that we have grown to love. We do not have fruits that do not grow here. ... Something else that is specific about our fruit trees is that they are on dwarf rootstock, which means these will never be 30-foot trees. These trees are always going to be quite small, because it is easier to manage picking them.
The jazz world has a royal family, and its name is Marsalis. Delfeayo Marsalis — the trombone-playing member of the current generation of Marsalis jazz musicians — assembled this best-of-the-best jazz orchestra 10 years ago to celebrate the musical heritage of New Orleans jazz. The Uptown Jazz Orchestra brings its iconic old-school jazz to Santa Fe on March 1, in a show that will delight audiences with its stellar soloists, bold energy, and Southern charm. We invite you to enjoy the grooving, riffing, and Mardi Gras spirit that Marsalis and the UJO are known for. Underwritten by Robin Black; Ellen & James Hubbell; Sandra & David Marion
Friday, March 1 | 7:30 pm Lensic Performing Arts Center
What happens to the fruit? We donate it to The Food Depot. We have a huge team of volunteers and interns in the summertime, and our staff does it. We try to donate as much as we possibly can because we don’t only have fruit trees, but also have vegetable garden as well, we call those agricultural terraces.

Mister Anderson For Anderson, his art is the purest form of letting go. A dedicated punk rock fan as far back as he can recall, he says he’s “the happiest punker you’ll ever meet.” Still, he’s grappled with depression and mental illness; his father descended into alcoholism, and he has dystonia, a relatively rare movement disorder that affects his neck.

“It pulls really far to the right,” Anderson says, “and if it goes all the way, I have to pull it back. It’s really painful.” Anderson also suffers from PTSD after a terrifying period of time, over a decade ago, with a local church he won’t name. He was sent to Alaska for reasons he still doesn’t fully comprehend where he says he faced religious abuse, a violent priest

actually invented a new artist statement,” artist Josh Anderson says. “It’s three words: Connect. Through. Suffering. I think suffering is kind of the one thing we have in common; it isolates us, and when we try to sugarcoat it, it’s not all right.” Anderson is best described as a penand-ink illustrator, though with a punk rock bent to his output similar to the chaotic and dense work of Rudimentary Peni’s Nick Blinko, it feels like “illustrator” doesn’t convey the complex nature of his pieces. Anderson embraces a cartoonish aesthetic, but by tackling issues such as mental illness, PTSD and the general gamut of human emotions, there’s almost always a deeper message to uncover. Anderson picked up drawing skills from his folks and never from any sort of formal training. His mother, he says, taught him the three-dimensional cube, though he’d add sea life for aquariumlike tableaus. His father, however, leaned toward science fiction vehicles and landscapes, adding an element of sci-fi to Anderson’s works. Neither were artists, but Anderson says he appreciated the lessons. “My dad, God bless him, was a quirky guy and showed me crazy movies at a young age, like The Thing by John Carpenter,” Anderson explains. “He was really a doodler, but he had an eye for it, and I think a lot of my stuff has a “Drugs Bunny” foundation of sci-fi or horror— by Josh Anderson. he shaped how I see and draw Another in a long line art, but also, it’s like echoes of of gonzo, wacked-out weirdnesses from the trauma.”

and a forced excommunication from the arts. After 16 months there, he returned to Santa Fe for the holidays and struggled with whether or not to return. “I basically felt like an apostate for the next 10 years,” he says. Still, the artworks flowed, becoming his feelings and repressed traumas writ large. The theme of hope is ever prevalent. It’s how Anderson has expanded his practice—pieces take him roughly a month, he says, and he usually has something in the works—and how he met and married his wife, Teresa, a local musician with the indie-punk band The Blackout Pictures. “Mental illness is … y’know, it used to be a real secretive thing, and I always worried about stigmatization,” Anderson muses. “I didn’t want to be stigmatized— but I found, if indeed I’m full-on mentally ill … I always like this image of sitting on a subway train, letting the posters pass, but not stopping to read them; letting it pass.” For his upcoming show at the New Mexico Hard Cider Taproom, Anderson pulls from years of work, estimating the show will feature upwards of 30 pieces. “I don’t have any kind of filter,” he says. “I’m just like, ‘Aw, this is fucked up. People will like this.’” Granted, the work won’t do it for everyone, and some pieces read a little goofier than might seem appropriate, given Anderson’s bent. But it’s his utter lack of artifice, his genuine sincerity and in his unyielding wide-eyed optimism that the real magic lies. It’s almost like you’ve gotta know the guy to truly appreciate what he’s doing artistically. Luckily, he is indeed the happiest punker you’ll ever meet. Just extend your hand—we’re sure he’ll shake it. JOSH ANDERSON: WRECKAGE FROM THE PAST 5 pm Friday March 1. Free. New Mexico Hard Cider Taproom, 505 Cerrillos Road, 231-0632

Getting Handsy
When meal time becomes play time
BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

“
on’t play with your food!” is a common refrain many of us remember from our childhoods. But, as any child would ask, where’s the harm in it? What was more fun than eating olives off all 10 fingertips, blowing bubbles in milk, trying to suck up Jell-O through a straw or using your fingers to lower a long strand of Top Ramen into your mouth without it getting stuck on your face? Even as adults, playing with our food still brings a heightened experience to the act of eating. Whether it’s food that naturally shuns the use of utensils or even something that requires many utensils, having to really “get into” what you’re eating makes it a whole different experience from the usual meal. If you love food, living life without ever knowing the joy of dueling fondue forks or fingerfuls of
injera dripping with spicy shiro wot would be a sad thing, indeed. Food doesn’t always work the ways table manners do, which is why running across foods you kind of have to play with, get your hands into, or use special tools to eat doesn’t happen very often—but when it does, can an extra layer of joy to a meal. If you happen to be able to squeeze yourself into a spot at the bar at Paper Dosa (551 W Cordova Road, 930-5521), you might want to get friendly with the people on each side of you as there is a strong possibility you may be “sharing” your meals. It’s a slightly uncomfortable and mostly hilarious situation to find yourself in: knocking elbows with the person next to you as you try to wrangle your way through the eating of an item which extends far past the edges of your plate. A dosa is a South Indian crepe made of fermented rice and lentils. The classic masala ($10) dosa comes

goods into the pot, stirring them around in the fragrant broth until cooked. A strainer spoon and ladle come in handy for transferring the goods to your plate, where they can be dipped in side sauces of ponzu or creamy sesame sauce. Once you’ve exhausted these, another basket arrives filled with both rice and wheat noodles. Again, they get dumped into the broth, now made even richer. End your shabu-shabu with a tasty bowl of ramen. It’s messy. It’s fun. It’s delicious. From dipping your own to building your own, la mozzarella ($14) at El Nido (1577 Bishops Lodge Road, Tesuque, 954-1272) can be so much fun to dig into, you may find yourself laughing more than eating. A long tray, similar to something you’d find at a booze tasting, arrives with glasses, each holding an ingredient for building your own crostini: spears of grilled bread, a rustic pomodoro, an elegant, peppery Arugula pesto, crispy garlic chips, what appears to be a glass of warm milk, and a pair of itsy-bitsy golden scissors. As you work your way down the line, slathering the tender crostini with bright layers, a spoon immersed in the warm milk emerges holding a globe of fresh housemade mozzarella. Somewhat solid, somewhat melted, it’s impossible to figure out how to get a piece off for inclusion on your stack without standing up from your seat and creating a ruler-sized stretch of cheese. Izanami lets you play This is where the fun really with your food with begins. While one person the shabu shabu hot stretches the mozzarella, the pot; before (left) and after (above). other uses those tiny scissors to … cut the cheese. “Would you be so kind as to cut my cheese?” I asked my dining partner, repeatedly, with as straight a face as I could muster. We all need more opportunities to act, laugh and eat like children. Take advantage of every one you find. Please, play with your food—and never ever be afraid to cut the cheese.
rolled in a tube of sorts and is filled with warm, fragrant potatoes blended with turmeric, caramelized onions, whole red chiles, mustard seeds and cashews. This dosa is about two feet in length, with the filling rolled into the middle, leaving “wings” of crepe on the ends. My favorite method of eating this is to cut the dosa in half then use torn pieces off the ends to grab at the filling, dip in one of the accompanying sauces, then escort each delicious bit from fingers to mouth. Another “hands-on” ethnic favorite is the hot pot. The hot pot is to Japan what fondue is to Switzerland, and any opportunity to cook, dip and smother your own food is one to be taken advantage of. Enter the shabu-shabu ($29) hot pot at Izanami (21 Ten Thousand Waves Way, 982-9304). Available at lunch only (make a reservation, as you need a specific table to accommodate all of the various cogs in this machine) this cook-it-yourself adventure begins with a pot of hot soy dashi and/or kombu broth (both, please!). As the broths come to a boil, you’re presented with the building blocks of this soup: a generous basket packed full with carrots, portobello mushrooms, fresh tofu, greens, bok choy and straw mushrooms. Meat-eaters can add chicken meatballs (tsukune) for $6 or thin-sliced Angus beef for $12. You then dump all the

Soy Cuba Review:
BEST MOVIE EVER
Scary-pretty in glorious black and white

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Make no mistake—1964’s Soy Cuba is about as anti-America a propaganda film as there has ever been, but Russian director and cinematographer Mikhail Kalatozov’s vision of a post-Missile Crisis Cuba is shot so beautifully, it’s sometimes hard to absorb the actual contents of the four disparate vignettes set on the island nation. Now, completely remastered in 4K resolution with the assist from America’s own cinematic legends Scorsese and Coppola, audiences have the first chance to see the film since its last wide-ish cinematic foray in 1995. Kalatozov takes us from the dizzying highs of a Havana rooftop bikini-off to the lowest, darkest corners of the filthiest slums; the disgusting Americans who loudly take what they want; the poverty-stricken farmer whose land is sold out from under him. Revolutionary students take to the streets to vie for Castro, women forced into prostitution sell their faith, and the shadow of the US-backed Batista looms over everything like some omnipresent boogeyman we’re meant to hate. And so we do. Oddly, or perhaps just as it was intended, Soy Cuba begins to sway us—or at least

make us understand. Besides, Americans are loud and boorish and easy to hate. Why did we hate Cuba for so long anyway? Besides, Kalatozov’s technical prowess is undeniable, particularly in shots that descend sheer towers or pan through windows then soar over citizen-packed city streets without even the hint of a cut. How such shots were possible so cleanly in 1964 is anyone’s guess, but Soy Cuba is rumored to have had an astronomical budget from its joint government backers in Cuba and Russia. The film was near-universally reviled at the time of its release and has largely remained unseen, save now and again when it’s pulled out and pointed to as a
historically relevant time capsule. Which it is, of course, and evocatively so, even if it lags toward the middle. As a cinematic accomplishment, Soy Cuba is astonishing and utterly gorgeous. As a propaganda flick, it’s chilling to think of the particulars of the era. Still, it’s a cinephile’s dream laid out in impossibly crisp black and white and a significant must for any film or history buffs. SOY CUBA Directed by Kalatozov The Screen, NR, 108 min.

+ SUSPENSEFUL AND TRUE TO LIFE; - SOMETIMES WE LOSE OUR BEARINGS IN A SEA OF INFORMATION
It seems that no matter how long we study the Holocaust and World War II, nor how many forms of media we use to unpack their history, there are still stories to tell and histories to uncover. In filmmaker Claus Räfle’s stirring 2017 hybrid documentary/dramatization, The Invisibles, we gain four new tales about German survivors who spent the better part of the war hiding from the Reich through different means. Take Cioma, the talented onetime art student with a knack for forging. Not only did he help save countless lives with near-perfect bogus documents at the unexpected behest of a high-ranking Nazi official, he moved from rented room to rented room, even staying with Reich soldiers on occasion, pretending he was a soon-to-be-deployed soldier himself. Or there’s Hanni, a young woman who dyed her hair blonde and spent her days on bustling commercial streets hiding her fear and pretending to shop and dine just like any other carefree German citizen. Räfle vacillates between real-life interviews with the subjects and cinematic recreations of their harrowing ordeals. From the hidden

attic rooms and darkened daytime movie theaters to the eventual Russian and American incursions of Germany, we follow the subjects through pitfalls such as deceitful former school chums, well-meaning townsfolk too scared to do much, or even German officers who knowingly harbored young Jews because it meant free labor. Through every close call, misstep and heart-pounding encounter, we’re given thoughts and memories from the people to whom the events actually happened, adding to the humanity and upping the heartbreak factor over and over. No, it’s not a particularly easy watch, but it is fascinating to see the clever steps people took and important to understand how pervasive and crushing the fear must have been. This would be a fantastic film for students, though it’s important for anyone to see it, especially for Americans—a shocking number of whom are reportedly unaware that such events transpired. There’s a strange silver lining of beauty to be found in the anti-Nazi helpers who opened their homes, or even the cogs of Hitler’s machine who understood how insane his ideology truly was—and did something about it.

+ KAPASHESIT NAILS IT; EYE-OPENING - SOME PERFORMANCES LACKING
Though author Richard Wagamese’s (Ojibwe) 2012 novel Indian Horse wove fictional Indigenous characters together over nearly three decades in Canada, the history behind the work is all too real: For well over 100 years, so-called residential schools in North America worked to assimilate Native youths into an overly religious and decidedly white way of life. They lost their names, their language, their agency—and if attempting to erase their culture and heritage weren’t enough, it’s estimated thousands of Native youths died while incarcerated in such schools. Wagamese died in 2017, unfortunately, before the cinematic version of Indian Horse could make it to the big screen, but the legacy of his words lives on in this powerful movie. It begins with an escape attempt whereupon 6-year-old Saul Indian Horse (Sladen Peltier) loses his entire family as they flee the institutions. It’s a difficult story thereafter, from the ruthless punishment doled out by emotionless nuns to the hateful and abusive rhetoric and actions of the priesthood. Actor Sladen Peltier tries his best here, but his emotional depth is lacking, at least until he discovers ice hockey. After the time jump, we find a teenaged Saul (Forrest Goodluck; see 3 Questions, page 29) excelling at sport but still embroiled in open racism. Haunted by the school, Saul struggles to stay alive, turning to alcoholism to dull the pain. Ajuawak Kapashesit as the adult Saul particularly brings the heat, from the simplest voiceless glances and cold, tired rage emanating from his body. Saul winds up joining a minor league hockey team, and it’s here that Indian Horse nearly convinces us it’s erring dangerously close to the white savior trope before dropping a bombshell that isn’t exactly surprising, though is nonetheless explosive. The story turns to one of redemption, or at least forgiveness, and Wagamese’s prose rings strong throughout the final emotional moments. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, NR, 101 min.

previously pick up a Best Director statue for his 2017 film Ida. In Cold War, we follow young Zula and the slightly older Wiktor, musicians from disparate classes in post-war Poland brought together by a government-run academy dedicated to the preservation of Polish folk music. This was an actual thing founded in war-torn Poland in 1948—the Mazowsze, which exists to this day. Zula’s a bit of a con artist, or so we glean— but as Wiktor says almost immediately, she has “something,” a certain darkness, but also burning passion and talent among the wreckage of her past. Newcomer Joanna Kulig as the tortured young singer brings a natural and effortless grace and style, even in her more human or pitiful moments, while Tomasz Kot’s portrayal of the lovesick but prideful Wiktor is so painfully relatable, we wind up empathizing a little too deeply with him. Both perspectives make absolute sense, however, even in their less courteous actions. We root for each character equally, a rare but fantastic feat from a powerhouse like Pawlikowski that feels like a more modern-day Dr. Zhivago … a sexier one, anyway. The pair discovers an immovable love blossoming between them, one that crosses borders and time, withstanding detour lovers, marriages of convenience and deportations; the music they make together through the 1950s and ’60s is even more beautiful. Pawlikowski captures it all in crisp black and white with a stunning attention to detail and scenic composition. From the countryside of Poland to the streets of Paris, from a Russian stage to bombed-out church-

es, everything is romance in all of its charred, beautiful, terrible power. The heart-wrenching soundtrack culled from real-life traditional Polish folk songs, which are then reinterpreted to mirror the times represented in the film, is nothing short of phenomenal. There is a danger to love like this, the kind in which we lose ourselves. And yet we can’t help but focus so intently on the principal characters, even at their worst and despite the numerous others that surround them. Like them, we throw caution to the wind and hope beyond hope that it all works out—but these things seldom do, right? It all boils down to chemistry: the kind that burns between Kulig and Kot, the kind that cannot be faked onscreen or otherwise, and the stuff that goes down as cinematic legend. Don’t miss this gorgeous film. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 89 min.

+ SWEET, SWEET SCHADENFREUDE - PAID INTERVIEWS ARE WEIRD; WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS AGAIN?
Oh, how satisfying was it to watch Fyre Fest go down in flames, circa summer 2017? How gleefully rapt were we in observing young folks with more money than sense descend upon the nightmarish event in the Bahamas only to learn they’d been oversold nothingness by snake oil salesman Billy McFarland? It was the type of schadenfreude that doesn’t come along every day—or every generation, even—and now we
can relive the glorious drama in the new Hulu documentary, Fyre Fraud. It’s important to note that Hulu competitor Netflix has a similar documentary out now as well, titled Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened (which we haven’t seen yet) and, according to outlets like NPR, there are journalistic issues with both—namely that the Hulu doc’s exclusive on-camera interviews with McFarland were bought and paid for. The Netflix version was produced by Jerry Media, the selfsame company that helped produce and promote the disastrous Fyre Fest itself, and members of which are reportedly extensively interviewed in that movie. But we’re almost willing to forgive these ethically shitty steps to observe the beautiful train wreck that hit the Bahamas all those many months ago. Besides, no one is filing these docs in the annals of history as anything more than trashy fun. We hope. Ultimately, Fyre Fraud is a tale about a conman who foresaw and harnessed the dark powers of social media in a way that many are just now beginning to grasp. Yes, certain aspects of the internet are obviously shady at best, but by enlisting the dubious marketing/meme factory Jerry Media (aka Fuck Jerry), an army of Instagram-famous models and influencers and tapping into millennials’ FOMO (fear of missing out), McFarland managed to kick up the perfect storm of desire and stupidity like almost nothing before it. As one interviewee in the film says, Fyre Fest looked like the most enticing parts of Instagram come to life. But there was one big problem: McFarland and his partners impatiently insisted on a sixmonth timeline. Events and marketing experts interviewed in the film estimate that even 18 months would have been cutting the planning

When it comes to world-building, writer Ursula K Le Guin might still be the reigning champ. too close. Throw in a cast of other idiots, from longtime McFarland collaborator Grant Margolin and early-2000’s rapper Ja Rule, and one wonders why anyone thought it was a good idea. Of course, we all know the rest— from the infamous images of FEMA tents on the Bahamian “beaches” and cheese on bread to the canceled bands and mad dash to the airport from terrified young folk who realized they’d made a horrific mistake too late. It’s frankly miraculous that no one was killed. But, since everyone survived, Fyre Fraud is pretty fun (funny?), even if McFarland’s interviews mostly amount to him not commenting on things. The other players are absent altogether. Ja Rule was famously unwilling to accept accountability, though, so … y’know. We do hear from people on the ground as well as culture journalists who predicted the mess—people should’ve listened to them in the weeks leading up to the event—but we mostly feel bad for these unpaid and unheeded people. McFarland is of course now serving six years in prison for wire fraud, but we hear rumblings of potential new business ventures in the documentary. Jesus. The lesson, though, we think, is in how prevalent we’ve allowed the internet to become in our decision-making process. The evidence was all there and smart people were begging people not to do it. But they did, and we now know exactly how that turned out. Glorious. (ADV) Hulu, NR, 96 min.
WORLDS OF URSULA K LE GUIN

+ GREAT SUBJECT; COOL ANIMATION - A LITTLE SPARSE; COVERS THE SAME GROUND A LOT
Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin from director Arwen Curry does a fine enough job celebrating the life of the groundbreaking sci-fi novelist through interviews with family and those she impacted like Neil Gaiman or Margaret Atwood, but rather than feel like a love letter to a personal hero, the documentary reads almost like a sales pitch to people who already bought what Curry’s selling ages ago. Le Guin, who died last year, of course shattered barriers in the sci-fi world at a time when the bulk of its tales lay firmly in the hands of male authors and hidden in 10-cent pulp paperbacks shoved into bookstore back rooms. By the late 1960s, she had a bevy of stories under her belt and novels like A Wizard of Earthsea tearing up sexist preconceived notions and making her a bit of a literary and feminist
hero. And that’s fantastic. But other than a handful of moments about how critics didn’t get her and how she was unparalleled when it came to world-building, we mostly get a bunch of people saying the same thing over and over again: Le Guin was amazing; Le Guin wasn’t appreciated when she was at the height of her powers; Le Guin influenced writers we all love today; Le Guin was a champion. This is all very true—Le Guin was a brilliant writer (notice we italicized “brilliant”), and though Curry’s footage of the author herself and some light biography is fairly interesting, we aren’t told much that would be valuable to anyone who isn’t a newcomer. Thus, the film feels like a bit of video Cliff’s Notes or a nice way to kill about an hour in a junior high classroom somewhere. We were hoping for a deeper look at her history or maybe even a little less gushing. Either way, Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin does have some cool animated sections and will surely dazzle longtime fans or maybe win over a few new ones. We just don’t think it’ll go down in history quite like Le Guin did. (Alex De Vore) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 68 min.

JOE had a rough time when he walked 17 feet into a stormwater culvert, then fell 20 feet down into a cistern near a home. Thankfully the homeowner happened to hear his pitiful cries and after several days, he was rescued and taken to SFAS where we hoped his owner would look for him. Both cats were transferred to Felines & Friends when they were found to be FIV+.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for fourteen hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and Internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you find it a challenge to commit to an entirely plant-based diet? If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a less-perfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strongminded, idealistic, willful, and intent on serving your well-being—but without being a maniacal purist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. They have a low nutrient density, and provide you with a scant amount of minerals, vitamins, protein, and other necessities. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior. But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body—including images, stories, sounds, and ideas, as well as food and drink.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Until the sixteenth century in much of Europe and the eighteenth century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on January 1.
